Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The production of mature mRNA in eukaryotes involves
A
cutting introns out and spicing exons together
B
adding the 5’ cap
C
adding the 3’ poly A tail
D
all of these are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: b. exons appear but introns do not appear in the mature RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotes, transcription produces a pre-mRNA molecule that be processed into mature mRNA by the addition of a 5′ cap, a 3′ poly-A tail, and through RNA splicing. At the end of eukaryotic transcription, a pre-mRNA molecule is formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capping at the 5’ end. Addition of a poly(A) tail at the 3’ end. Splicing to remove introns. 04-Aug-2021
